Actually, the "problem" is widespread grade inflation and universities not failing people out who don't really belong there because those mediocre slackers subsidize the students who are actually getting the grades necessary to use their majors post graduation rather than just using college as a time to party and waste time until they graduate or whatever it is morons do in college. When it became time for me to party, I dropped out for a while and found a stupid-easy job working nights and did drugs every weekend instead of wasting my time trying to be a scholar while also going to school. I graduated college a few years after the norm, but with a 3.98 GPA. Nobody cares how long it took you to get there.

An undergraduate degree with a 2.3 GPA doesn't really matter. It's just the university saying, "gtfo and don't come back", but in a way that people who get 2.3 GPA's in the Liberal Arts aren't smart enough to figure out that is what they are actually being told.

If you went to college because you thought that just a degree was going to get you a job and didn't take advantage of the opportunities available to you there, then you deserve everything you are getting. You squandered those opportunities.
